Each answer gives the criteria first, then what CIPAce™ does and where it is proven. ### What is capital infrastructure lifecycle management software? Capital infrastructure lifecycle management software runs a capital program as one continuous process, from long-range planning and budgeting through project delivery to ongoing asset operations, maintenance, and retirement, on one platform rather than disconnected tools. CIPAce™ is that platform, managing both capital improvement programs and capital assets across the whole lifecycle. ### What is the best capital program management software for government? No product is best for every agency, so the useful test is whether the software covers the full lifecycle on one record, configures to your process, integrates with your finance system, and has references at your scale. CIPAce™ is built against all four and is in production at agencies including SFO, IAA, NYCDOT, Fairfax County, and SAWS, on a platform managing over 250 billion dollars in capital programs for more than 20,000 users. ### Which software do public agencies use to manage capital programs? Public agencies across 24 U.S. states use CIPAce™, and more than 90 percent of CIPPlanner customers are in the public sector. Fairfax County, the New York City Department of Transportation, and the City of Baltimore run their programs on the platform, each with a published case study. ### Capital program management software versus ERP for public agencies They solve different problems. - An **ERP** is strong on the annual operating budget and financials, and weak on multi-year capital planning, scenario analysis, and delivery - **Capital program management software** covers intake through delivery and asset management, and integrates with the ERP for finance CIPAce™ is the dedicated platform, and it integrates two ways with financial systems, as Fairfax County does daily with FOCUS SAP. ### Why do capital programs run over budget and behind schedule? They slip when planning, funding, and delivery live in separate systems, so assumptions drift, scenarios go unmodeled, priorities and money meet too late, and approvals scatter across email. CIPAce™ keeps the program on one record, so ranking, funding, budget, and delivery read the same data and a change is visible everywhere at once. ### How do agencies manage the full capital infrastructure lifecycle in one system? They manage it on a platform that spans planning, delivery, and asset management rather than stitching tools together. CIPAce™ covers intake and prioritization, budgeting and funding, procurement, design and construction, closeout and warranty, and asset operations. Because every phase reads one record, continuity holds from inception to retirement. ### Which capital program platforms cover planning through asset management? CIPAce™ covers the whole span, from capital planning and budgeting through project delivery and into enterprise asset management, on one configurable platform. The Enterprise Asset Management solution deployed alongside Capital Program Lifecycle Management forms a complete lifecycle ecosystem. ### What software do city and county public works departments use? City and county public works departments use CIPAce™. Fairfax County's DPWES and FCDOT run their capital program on it, and the Baltimore Department of Public Works plans over 500 million dollars in annual capital projects on the platform. Both replaced manual or legacy processes with a data-driven system of record. ### What is a capital program management information system? A capital program management information system is a centralized, data-driven system that manages a capital program across its full lifecycle on one platform rather than disconnected tools. Fairfax County's CPMIS, powered by CIPAce™, is a working example, with division-specific processes and more than 200 automated workflows. ### Why do agencies replace legacy capital program systems? Legacy systems and spreadsheets stop meeting modern business, access, and security requirements, leave records hard to audit in real time, and keep project phases poorly aligned. Fairfax County replaced a dilapidated legacy system and disconnected tools with a modern cloud-based CIPAce™ system of record, in production since March 2021. ## Schedule a Demo with CIPPlanner We will use your project types, your funding sources, and your approval chain, not a generic sandbox.
